With built in features like native controls, mobile API, dynamic
layout, sashes and frames, Rapide allows you to design great applications
using CA Gen.

Leverage investment in CA Gen Models

Rapide allows you to easily use your existing Gen applications
and implement them on a much broader range of platforms including
browser and mobile. Rapide uses the existing CA Gen built servers
without change.

The
developer can develop all aspects of the application - the user
interface, client logic and server logic using CA Gen. This promotes
a much more flexible and agile development approach compared to
developing the user interface in a different technology.

Native look and feel

Rapide
uses native controls on desktop and mobile platforms to provide
a look and feel that is consistent with the platform and user expectations.

High Performance

Rapide has
been designed for high performance browser and mobile applications.

Scalable

Rapide web and mobile
applications can be scaled to support a large number of users with
support for load balancing.

Common source code for all platforms

Rapide browser, mobile and desktop applications all work from
the same common runtime and generated Java code. This provides a
high degree of consistency in behaviour between all platforms.

Easy Deployment

Rapide browser
and mobile applications are packaged into a war file or OSGi bundles
for simple deployment to application servers. Once a mobile application
has been installed on the device, no further device updates are
required for application changes- all updates are applied to the
application server only. Rapide desktop applications can be easily
updated by automatically updating the referenced .jar files without
requiring any local software installation or reboots.

Consistency across browsers

Rapide
browser applications work in a consistent way across all major browsers.
